Chapter 1654
The Divine Weapon for Catching Hashtags
That day, Wang An sat on the sofa, pondering how to persuade Mu Xueqing to let him take her to the county to check if she was pregnant, so that he could make arrangements in advance.
Then Mu Xueqing walked in from outside with light steps and a happy face.
Upon seeing this, Wang An chuckled and said:
"Honey, why are you so happy? What's the good news?"
Mu Xueqing walked up to Wang An, her face beaming with joy, and said in a sweet voice:
"Yeah, there must be good news! My period started this month, hehehehe, how about that? Does that count as good news? Hahahaha, I'm not pregnant."
It was clear that Mu Xueqing was exceptionally happy, even a little excited.
Upon hearing this, Wang An was first taken aback, and then felt quite disappointed.
The main reason is that Wang An was a lonely widow in his previous life and never experienced the joy and happiness of having children around him. Now that he has been reborn and his family has better financial conditions, Wang An wants to have more children.
Wang An forced a smile and said:
"What's so special about this? If the baby comes, we'll let him come into this world safely. If he doesn't want to come, we won't force him."
Mu Xueqing pouted and said:
"The thought of constantly hiding and having to worry about being discovered by the police makes me panic."
What Mu Xueqing said is indeed the reality for the next 30 years. If you want to have more children, you have to hide and run away. Otherwise, if you get caught, they won't care how many months you've been pregnant. You have to run away without any discussion.
I remember a famous director was fined a considerable amount of money because of having more children than allowed.
It wasn't until around 2010 that people fully embraced the idea of "having fewer children and planting more trees," and the problem of rapid population growth finally stabilized.
What's frustrating is that just 10 years later, they started encouraging people to have children again, and even offered rewards for doing so. It's ridiculous. I don't know what to do.
After Mu Xueqing finished speaking, Wang An put his arm around her waist and said with a smile:
"Whatever makes you happy, hehehe."
Mu Xueqing suddenly said:
"Xiao An, how about I get an IUD? I heard that you can't get pregnant if you wear one."
Wang An refused without hesitation:
"That's bullshit. What's the point of carrying that thing? With that piece of junk inside your body, how can you feel comfortable? You can't carry it."
Wang An said this because she was actually hoping that if she got pregnant, she would give birth to the child.
Now that he has two little darlings, Happiness and Joy, Wang An is very happy and content. But if he had one or two more children, he would be even happier and more content.
Mu Xueqing pouted and said:
"What if you get pregnant later?"
Wang An patted Mu Xueqing's shapely buttocks and said:
"Let's be careful. If you get pregnant, just have the baby. Don't worry, I promise I can arrange everything perfectly. After the baby is born, we'll pay the fine, and nobody can do anything to us."
Hearing Wang An say that, Mu Xueqing's face still showed worry, but she clearly didn't take it seriously anymore.
Just as Wang An and Mu Xueqing were having a private conversation, Wang Li suddenly arrived on his motorcycle.
As soon as he entered the room, Wang Li excitedly said to Wang An:
"Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, shall we go catch some ants? I just took Dad to check on the crops on my motorcycle, and afterwards I saw a lot of ants jumping out of that big pond south of the South Depression. Nobody's found that spot yet, we're sure we can catch a lot." Upon hearing this, Wang An immediately stood up from the sofa and said:
"We absolutely have to go. We haven't even had a few this year. Fifth Brother, hurry up and go to my barn and get some plastic sheets, the narrowest ones will do. Also, grab the axe. I'll go find two water taps and two urea bags. Let's go now."
Upon hearing this, Wang Li was somewhat bewildered and asked:
"Get a plastic sheet? Fourth Brother, what do you need a plastic sheet for? Just take the water tap and the urea bag, that's all."
Wang An was about to explain when he suddenly felt the urgency of time, so he said:
"Oh dear, I don't have time to explain in detail. You'll find out when we get there."
The reason why time is tight is that the number of forest frogs in small puddles or slightly larger ponds is limited. Within just a few hours, all the forest frogs in the pond will come out of the water and go up the mountain to catch insects to eat.
Once the forest frogs enter the mountains, they scatter to various places, and searching for them one by one is no easy task.
Of course, once the forest frogs go into the mountains, they are basically no longer eaten.
Besides being difficult to find, one reason is that they go into the mountains to eat pests, so people stop eating them.
On the other hand, it's because they have various worms in their stomachs, which makes them troublesome to clean up when eating, and they also have parasites on their bodies.
Three minutes later, Wang An and Wang Li had prepared everything they needed to bring.
However, there was a lot of stuff, and with Wang An added, Wang Li's motorcycle couldn't carry it all. Wang An immediately said:
"Don't ride your motorcycle, let's ride my sidecar over there."
And so, Wang Li rode the sidecar, with Wang An sitting in the seat behind him. Buckets, an axe, and a plastic sheet were placed on the sidecar, and the two of them headed towards the southern depression.
To be honest, ever since this sidecar came into Wang An's possession, he only rode it in the summer and early autumn; the rest of the time it was idle.
Listening to the unique sound of the sidecar, which sounded like a series of farts, the two quickly arrived at the pond not far from the South Depression.
Just as Wang Li had said, one by one, forest frogs were crawling out of the water and then hopping into the woods on the mountain.
Of course, there are still many forest frogs that haven't moved, and we don't know what they're waiting for. But once this season comes, it's inevitable that forest frogs will go into the mountains, so they will have to come out sooner or later.
Upon seeing so many forest frogs, Wang An couldn't help but exclaim with delight:
"Holy crap, they've caught a bunch of ants! Hahaha. I haven't seen so many ants going into the mountains in years. Hahaha, we're rich! We've struck it rich this time!"
As he spoke, Wang An jumped off the sidecar, grabbed the water hose, and ran over, while Wang Li did almost the same thing.
With so many frogs emerging from the water on the shore, all you have to do is hold the shovel with your left hand, bend down, and pick them up from the shovel. It's so much fun!
In just a short while, Wang An and Wang Li each picked up a handful of water frogs, and the two of them had also picked up almost all the frogs that had already come out of the water.
Only then did Wang An wipe his hands on the shrub hairs, then take out a cigarette and hand one to Wang Li, and they each lit one and smoked.
Wang Li took a puff of his cigarette and asked Wang An:
"Fourth Brother, why are we using plastic sheeting? Why do we have to use these scraps?"
The plastic sheet that Wang Li took from Wang An's storage room was a piece that had been left over after the plastic greenhouse was built. Normally, this kind of plastic sheet is not very useful because it is very long, more than ten meters long, but very narrow, only about half a meter wide.
Wang An smiled mysteriously and said:
"Let me tell you, this plastic sheet is a magic tool for catching ants, hahaha." (End of Chapter)
